You let it go. Strive for 80% organic and you'll be doing fine. At least that's my theory.

I plan to feed my son as healthy as possible at home and educate him on *why* we eat this way and hope he makes good choices when he's away from home. But I won't be mad if it does. I don't want "splurges" to be a common thing though - he'll probably attend 5-10 birthdays a year, plus holidays, plus this plus that and that equals to monthly or even weekly "splurges". I'm still not sure how I'll address it yet.

I won't mind him eating non-organic as long as it's washed but there are some things I will have issues with even as splurges... things like McDs. We NEVER eat there and never plan to. But I'm sure he will have a friend who has a party there at some point in his life..

To some extent there is an attitude of "let it go" however I adopted this attitude as well for myself and I've noticed how easy it is to employ if when I don't feel like making healthful decisions... so I really want to be careful to create a healthy balance. I don't want to be that overprotective mom to the point that he resents me and the way we eat, but I also want to instill the "whys" into our diet and lifestyle.

We just let it go too. It's not that often anyway. He gets meals from his daycare, which aren't always organic. They provide milk but I always bring in organic milk for him. It's impossible to avoid non-organic foods anyway, especially with all of the playdates/birthday parties/etc!
